Establishing expenditure limit for 1983 -84 under Article XIII -B of the California Constitution City Manager Jones reported that information had been received from the State Department of Finance regarding the limit formula to use in relation to Gann funds, which amounts to a 4.44% increase for E1 Segundo, totaling $18,366,640.00.

The Mayor inquired if anyone present wished to speak regarding this portion of the budget.

Cable, expanding the youth programs, and opposed the salary increases for City employees. Asked that approval of the budget be tabled until the Economic Base Study Group submits its recommendations regarding additional revenues that would allow all the important projects to be funded. Council members responded that the salary increases were agreed upon in past years that bind the Council to maintain the terms of those agree- ments for this year. Mrs. Pearl Stevens, 608 Illinois Court asked if the Council had said the budget would be balanced by taking $2,431,062 from the reserves. Mayor Bue responded that that was correct.

Councilman Armstrong stated he would go on record as approving the budget, but making a strong recommendation that funds be found by the time of the mid -year review to reinstate the items cut from the budget, otherwise he will have a strong negative vote in December. City Manager Jones stated he should have reported on Revenue Sharing Funds prior to closing the public hearing. Therefore, motion was made by Councilman Johnson, seconded by Councilman Armstrong, that the Public Hearing be reopened. Notion carried.

Councilwoman Synadinos stated she assumed the Economic Base Committee would have had its recommendations in prior to the budget hearing and did not feel right about voting for deficit spending. Mayor Bue stated that staff had always been prudent in budget recommen- dations, that he would not be in favor of a 16% cut because of the impact on the residents. Councilman Siadek stated that no one at the budget study sessions indicated opposition to an unbalanced budget; that funds are available and very shortly, ways of generating new revenues will be presented to the Council. Stated if new revenue sources are not evident at the mid -year budget review, then he would reconsider all the items. Councilman Armstrong asked if it was possible to hold back the capital improvement projects until after the Economic Base Committee reports. City Manager advised that capital improvements were not included in the Operating Budget; that the Committee had discussed some capital projects and if the Council wished this to be included, he was sure the Committee would be receptive to the direction. Council discussed the probability of cutting back at the mid -year review in case funds were not made available and generally agreed this would be the action to take. Councilman Armstrong remarked that funding should be found now so that the reserves would not be used. Thereafter, motion was made by Councilman Siadek, seconded by Councilman Armstrong, that the following resolution, entitled: RESOLUTION NO. 3209 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL SEGUNDO, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING AND ADOPTING THE ANNUAL APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 1983 -84 which was read, be adopted.

After further discussion, motion was made by Councilman Siadek, seconded by Councilman Johnson, that the subject recommendation to continue the waiver be approved in order to allow advertising on the news program, said waiver to be in effect for an additional six months. Councilwoman Synadinos inquired of the City Attorney if this would set a precedent allowing any other company the privilege of the waiver. City Attorney Dolley advised he could see no obligation the City might have to any other company. On roll call, said motion carried with Councilwoman Synadinos voting no. B. E1 Segundo Employers' Association Councilman Johnson reported he attended a meeting where it was announced the Association had been given a National Highway award for doing an outstanding job in its programs to reduce commuter traffic.

The Mayor suggested that staff prepare a news release. VII ORAL COMMUNICATIONS Mr. G. Roger Siegal, stated in the last few months, God had asked him to demonstrate to the people that the future is bright and that we may now proceed on building God's Kingdom of everlasting life.

Motion carried by unanimous vote. 4. Implementation of SB 1534, Second Units nn. R -1 Parcels Planning Director Romaniello reported that subject bill has man- dated that no laws be enacted in the City against subject bill. Advised that the Planning Commission held study sessions and public hearing on the subject and found that the current Municipal Code provides for a second unit on a single - family zoned lot when said lot abuts property of another zone or in front of an existing unit not exceeding 700 square feet. Therefore, stated the Commission feels the City's code meets the intent of SB 1534. Discussion was held regarding providing affordable housing and if this had been addressed. Mr. Richard Patterson, 1205 East Oak Avenue, stated the intent was to provide low income housing for senior citizens, that Planning's defining the require- ments is unjust, punishing those that do not abut R -3 zoning. Mr. James H. Johnson, 513 West Acacia Avenue, stated there are several R -1 lots that exceed 10,000 square feet abutting multiple residential lots where large apartment houses have been built that take away the privacy of the single family residence, which in some cases, could be remedied if an apartment atop a garage could be built to shield the R -1 residence. Stated it is just as critical to the single family owner whether the R -3 lot abuts the side or back. Asked the Council to consider this. Mr. G. Roger Siegal stated he thought the Council was forgetting citizen involvement. Council discussed the terms of permitting second units on R -1 lots; allowing units for senior citizens or family members only; and decided not to change the Code as long as it meets the provisions of the law. -9- Council Minutes June 21, 1983 tI) )( 5 0 Ml B.
